The Chronicler

Hronists / The Chronicler


Short films, Latvia 2025, 25 Min., latv. OV, engl. st


He is the untiring chronicler of life in Latvia. For decades, the endearingly odd Marģers Martinsons has recorded both the banal and the original on video. The material is stored in boxes, which are stacked to the ceiling. Marģers’ eyesight, however, is fading, and the future fate of his estate is becoming an urgent question. The sheer mass of memories threatens the remembered with oblivion.

The film is part of the short film programme Nordic Shorts 2: Where to Put the Old?
